ASIDIil-WING AND SUNSHADE SUPPORTNG BRACKET.

Application tiled October 24, 1921, Serial No. 509,834.

- stances supported on the wind shield standf ards, and as each heretofore has required a separate bracket, the diiiicultyhas been encountered in securing the brackets to the standards due to the little space afforded.

The present invention relates to a bracket adapted tor mounting on a4 side shield and also for supporting one end of a sunshade, and due to the single clamping or point ot securing ot fthe bracket to the wind shield standardVthe bracket is adapted for uniH versal use,`as but little space is required for the attachment of the same to the standard.

The principal objects ot this invention are to provide a bracket adapted for supporting a side shield and one end ot a sunshade, one

whereby adjustment for the sunshade is aftorded, and one whereby the sunshade and side shield are capable of independent adjustment.

With the above mentioned and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, illustrated. in the accompanying drawings, and set forth in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes inthe form, proportion, size and minor details of construction within the scopel of the claims may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

To more fully comprehend the invention, reference is directed to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a View in perspective of the preferred embodiment ot my invention removed froin a wind shield standard.

Figure 2 is a view in end elevation of a vehicle wind shield illustrating my bracket supporting the upper end of a side shield and one end of a sunshade.

Figure 3 is a view in top plan of the end y portion `ot the wind shield illustrated in Figure 2.

Figure t is a view in iront elevation ot the end portion of the wind shield illustrated in Figure 2, and

Figure 5 is a sectional View on line 5-5 ot Figure 2 illustrating the lower side shield bracket, which is of the well known form.

ln the drawings, wherein likecharacters of reference designate corresponding parts, the numerals land 2 indicate respectively7 the lower and upper main wind shield lsections respectively pivoted as at 3 and 4 at one u end to one ot the wind shield standards 5, which preferably extends upwardly from the vehicle' body, not shown. A conventional transparent side shield 6 is illustrated as positioned at one side ot' the main wind shieldand the same mounts a supporting rod 7, pivoted as at 8 tothe opposite ends oit' `the shield as in the drawing.

Transversely of the main wind shieldwith its upper edge disposed parallel tothe upper main wind shield section is a sunshade 9, and it is for the convenient mounting of the side shield 6 and one end ot the sunshade 9 that my present invention has been designed. i y

The lower end ot the rod 7 is clamped by a set screw l0 within `a bearing opening'll through which said rod extends, the bearing opening being formed by theco-oper- .ating parts l2 of a bracket i3, the parts l2 being normally and. detach'ably secured ytogether by screws or retaining members la. ,A bracket 13 in turn is 'formed in two parts, the main part l5 andthe auxiliary clamp 16, one end ofthe main part l5 being disposed atan angle of approximately l5 degrees from the main part l5, affording a clamping toot 17which is adapted to lie parallel with the clamping member 17, the two being drawntogether to engage around the standard 5 by suitable adjusting screws 18.

The description of this bracket brieiy sets forth my present form ot bracket illustrated and claimed in application for Letters Patent Serial No. 299,872, tiled May 26th, 1919, and which bracket is employed to secure the lower end of the side shield `to the standard 5.

This same bracket is utilized for securing the upper end of the side shield 6 to the standard 5 and one end of the sunshade thereto, the clamping member 16 thereof having outwardly and upwardly extended therefrom an arm 19, and also being formed in a plane parallel with the lower end of the arm 19 with an earQO, which pivotally mounts, through a fulcrum pin 2l, the inner end of an arcuate Ipart 22 slotted as at 23, and adapted for receiving a lug or pin 24rprojecting outwardly from oneend of the sunshade 9. The upper end of arm 19 is also provided with an opening 25 for receiving a fulcrum Vpin .2G projecting from the upper edge of the sunshade 9, said pins 24 and 2G each mounting a wing nut 27 of the conventional type.

It 'will be apparent that in the single bracket for securing to. the upper portionv of the wind shield standard 5, I provide a means for mount-ing a sidev shield in rear of the main wind shield, anda means for supporting one end of a sunshade in advance of the upper portion. of the wind shield.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is l. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end of al sunshade to a: main wind shield support comprising a member consistng of two main portions, one provided with a lateral clamping portion for mounting a side shield and the other provided with an upwardly extended arm affording a fulcrum and support for a sunshade, and means for clamping the main portions to a support.

2. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end of a sunshade to a main wind shield support comprising a member consisting of two main portions, one provided with a lateral clampingy portion for mounting a side shield and the other provided with aniupwardly extended arm afford'ng a fiilerum and support for a sunshade, means for clamping the main portions to a support, and al part pivotally mounted at one end on one of said main portions to extend beyond said arm, said part adapted for cooperation with the sunshade near its free edge affording a brace therefor.

3. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end ofV a sunshade t0 a lmain wind shield, thesame comprising a member consisting of two co-ope'rating main portions,

means for clamping the same in engagement with a wind shield standard, one of said portions provided with-a divided clamp inclined laterally therefrom for engaging and supporting a side shield, an arm extended upwardly from said other main portion providing a fulcrum and` vsupport for the sunshade, and a part pivotally secured to said arm carrying vportion for co-operating with the free end of the sunshade for retaining the same in its adjusted position.

4:. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end ofv a. sunshade to a main wind shield, the same consisting of `a body formed with a divided clamp extended laterally at an incline from ythe rear-thereof for engaging and supporting aside shield, one por tion of said claii'ip being inte-'gral with said body, said body being also formed wit-h an integral arm extending upwardly from the forward portion'thereof providing a fulcrum and support for the suns'hade, and means'for detacliably securing said body to a permanent wind shield element with said clamp extended rearwardly from the element and the arm forwardly thereof.

5. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end of a sunshade to a main wind shield, the same consisting of a body formed with a dividedclamp extended laterally atan incline from the rear thereof for engaging and supporting a side shield, said body being also formed with an arm extending upward ly from the forward portion thereof providing a fulcrum and support for the sunshade, and means for d etachably securing saidv body to a permanent wind shield element with said clamp and arm disposed one on each side thereof.

6. A bracket for securing a side shield and one end of a suns'hade to a main wind shield, the same conslsting of a body, means for securing said body to a permanent wind shield element, means ext-endedv from said body affording a support for a side shield in rear of said permanent wind shield' 'element, and an 'arm extended upwardly and forwardly from said body for affording a support and fulcrum for one end of a vehicle sunsl'iade.y y y In testimony whereof I have signedniy name to this specification.
